Default Best plan for scratch removal

Got a black blob and in th esun light you can notice quite a few light scratches. What is the best course of action and any products to get light scratches out of my paint work.

A good bit of AG Super Resin polish and a bit of elbow grease should do the trick or if that doesnt get them out id defo recommend investing in a machine polisher especially being a black car they can be a bugger to keep clean but they look awesome when they are all polished up

Most places that sell car cleaning stuff will sell Auto Glym, Halfrauds have 3 for 2 on at the mo though so you could get applicator pads and id also recommend a sheepskin wash mitt too - that'll help prevent further scratches and swirl marks

You could take it to your nearest body shop and ask them to give it a mop & pollish? About £80 should do it.

Depends what your budget is to be honest, if youve got enough id defo invest in a machine polisher. Ive always used AG polish on all my cars and it does the trick

Are they scratches or swirls ?

Auto glym SRP alone might not just get rid of either .

First try this forum it`s full of useful info http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/index.php

As for a machine polisher then (special offer atm).

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-S...f=pd_sim_diy_3

Recomended on the above forum. Oh and by me

pads you`ll need for the above polisher
Ebay item number 190399791281 (3pk cheapest i`ve found)

And finally

A link to what can be done with the above polisher (i know it`s not black but you get the idea)

PS: It becomes adictive.

Chris.
